Montel Williams Defends Suicide Wish on Bachmann Moments After Decryin
As he appeared as a guest on Friday's Piers Morgan Tonight on CNN, moments after decrying Rush Limbaugh's recent "slut" comment, liberal talk radio host Montel Williams defended his infamous suggestion that Michele Bachmann should kill herself by decapitation as being unrelated to the recent Limbaugh matter.
While he was discussing his encounter with a wounded American soldier, he bizarrely…

HuffPost 'Expert': FCC Should Have Ripped Limbaugh Off the Air Within
Liberals have never been fans of the Federal Communications Commission interfering with the “free speech” of broadcast obscenity, from the “seven dirty words” to anything else. They have, however, loved the idea of reinstating a “Fairness Doctrine to curb conservative talk radio hosts.
On Thursday, The Huffington Post published an article by “award-winning creative marketer” and “issues-…

Bozell Column: 'GCB,' or Good Christians Bashed
At the same time Washington was ablaze with outrage at the idea that Rush Limbaugh insulted a woman as a “slut,” ABC premiered a new Sunday night show called “GCB” – shortened from “Good Christian Bitches.” Limbaugh apologized. ABC displays no such contrition. They insulted only those Christians. In the midst of this trashy debut, ABC promoted a new sitcom coming in April titled “Don’t Trust…

Daily Kos Week in Review: He Drives Them Crazy
We lead this week with perhaps the most severe case of Santorum Derangement Syndrome ever exhibited on DKos. Elsewhere, Kossacks unsurprisingly insisted that Republicans, Santorum included, are the real loonies, and dopes to boot.
As usual, each headline is preceded by the blogger's name or pseudonym.

Liberals vs. Hunters in California Mountain Lion 'Scandal
Cam Edwards at NRANews.com pointed out to me that liberals in California (and "animal welfare" lobbyists across the country) are trying to demote the head of the California Game and Wildlife Commission for hunting and shooting a mountain lion in Idaho (where it's legal).
Dan Richards was pictured in a hunting newsletter smiling over his kill. Hunting mountain lions in California has been…

Van Susteren Does the Right Thing Regarding Misogynist Louis C.K
A couple of years ago, “comedian” Louis CK “joked” on the Opie and Anthony radio show about Palin coming to the Republican convention “holding a baby that just came out of her f-ing, disgusting [C-word], her f-ing retard-making [C-word].”
Last night, I emailed letters to all the female anchors and on air TV correspondents at all broadcast and cable broadcast networks, numbering more than 60…

Wishful Thinking? AP Headline Overstates Feb. Job Adds by
Gosh, how did that happen?
At the Associated Press as of 7:30 p.m., its Top Business stories (saved here for future reference) top headline read: "Strong 3 months of hiring as US adds 277,000 jobs." The headline at the underlying article (saved here) reads the same. Related pics are after the jump.

ABC Shamelessly Boosts Leftist Group's Report on 'Extremists'; Hypes V
ABC broadcasted two completely one-sided reports on Thursday's World News and Nightline on the supposed "huge spike in the number of Americans operating in the shadows, trying to take down the U.S. government even with violence," as anchor Diane Sawyer put it. Correspondent Dan Harris's main external source for his reports was a media favorite, the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center [audio…

Did AP and Rugaber, Obsessed With Managing Economic Expectations, Spin
Yesterday was sort of "Pick on Christopher Rugaber at the Associated Press Day." So when I came across a particularly reprehensible report he filed last night whining about the difficulty the economy may face in meeting heightened expectations -- with yet another reference to the wire service's obsession with its relevance to President Obama's approval ratings and reelection -- I let it go.…

Rosie O'Donnell and Jane Lynch to Guest Host for CNN's Piers Morgan
If you were a cable news executive, and one of your hosts was going on vacation, would you allow far-left entertainers to fill in?
As TVNewser reported Friday, Rosie O'Donnell and Jane Lynch are actually guest-hosting for CNN's Piers Morgan next week:

CNN Hypes 'Exploding' Number of 'Extremist' Anti-Gov't Groups
CNN let the liberal Southern Poverty Law Center brand many right-wing "patriot" groups as "extremist" and racist on Friday afternoon. CNN host Brooke Baldwin simply listened to the SPLC talking points and concernedly asked what was being done to "combat" the "paranoia" of "anti-government activism."
The SPLC had previously placed the Family Research Council alongside Klan members and neo-…

Thomas Column: Nice Apology Rush, But You Should Also Invite Fluke Out
The first apology by Rush Limbaugh, posted on his website over the weekend, sounded forced, qualified, almost defensive. The second, broadcast live on his Monday show, sounded sincere and heartfelt.
Rush Limbaugh did something not usually associated with either himself or bombastic talk radio. He apologized for calling a woman a "slut" and a "prostitute."

Lamar Smith Column: Media Downplaying Gas Prices to Boost Obama
The issue of rising costs at the gas pump is a reality many American families are fighting with daily. Americans drive to visit family, friends, or to go to work every day to help provide the American dream for their family. The cost to fill up their cars has a great effect on their daily lives.
